DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed new UCLA program will train predoctoral students from the behavioral and social sciences in biomedical theory, evidence, and methods and mentor them to integrate these approaches into health research. The goal is to train interdisciplinary investigators based in population science and health psychology who examine the complex pathways through which demographic, socioeconomic, and psychological processes influence and are influenced by health and disease. The program is a partnership of the UCLA California Center for Population Research (CCPR) and the Program in Health Psychology in the Department of Psychology. The CCPR and the Program in Health Psychology are top centers nationally for research in their respective areas. We request support for 5 predoctoral trainees per year for two year traineeships. Trainees will be selected from students in psychology, sociology, community health sciences, and economics. In the first year, trainees will take a carefully designed year-long didactic training course taught by life sciences and biomedical faculty focusing on the structure and function of key bodily systems which are critical for health and disease and the pathophysiology of major medical conditions. They will also develop a research proposal with two co-mentors, one from the behavioral or population sciences, and one from the biomedical sciences. In the second year, students will apply their first-year coursework via a sequence of laboratory and research experiences. By the end of their second year, trainees will complete an independent research project based on their proposal, co-mentored by a biomedical science faculty member and a population or behavioral science faculty member, and yielding either a dissertation proposal or a manuscript to be submitted for publication. Throughout the traineeship they will participate in a proseminar with faculty and guest speakers that integrate the biomedical knowledge into their scientific approaches. The program will be led by a team of faculty from the population, behavioral, and biomedical sciences that will be overseen and supported by a similarly interdisciplinary committee of Core Faculty. To mentor trainees, provide laboratory and research experiences, and lecture in the didactic training course, we have recruited a large team of distinguished faculty from the population, behavioral, biomedical sciences with outstanding records of publication, extramural funding, and mentoring, as well as extensive experience in collaboration on health research across traditional disciplinary boundaries. Relevance: The program will benefit public health by producing new interdisciplinary investigators who through their research will help to determine the pathways by which individual social, economic, and psychological factors influence and are influenced by health and disease. By virtue of this training, this new cohort of investigators will be better able to identify interdisciplinary approaches to intervention for the benefit of public health in the United States.

描述（由申请人提供）：拟议的新UCLA计划将培训来自生物医学理论，证据和方法的行为和社会科学的祖先学生，并指导他们将这些方法整合到健康研究中。目的是培训基于人群科学和健康心理学的跨学科研究人员，他们研究了人口，社会经济和心理过程影响并受健康和疾病影响的复杂途径。该计划是加利福尼亚州加利福尼亚州人口研究中心（CCPR）的合作伙伴关系，以及心理学系健康心理学计划。 CCPR和健康心理学计划在全国范围内是其各自领域的研究中心。我们要求每年为两年的学员提供5名托管学员的支持。学员将从心理学，社会学，社区健康科学和经济学的学生中选出。在第一年，学员将参加由生命科学和生物医学教师教授的长期设计的一年的教学培训课程，该课程的重点是关键身体系统的结构和功能，这对于健康和疾病至关重要，以及主要医疗条件的病理生理学。他们还将与两个联合官员一起制定一项研究建议，一名来自行为或人口科学，一项来自生物医学科学。在第二年，学生将通过一系列实验室和研究经验应用他们的第一年课程。到第二年结束时，学员将根据他们的提案完成一个独立的研究项目，该项目由生物医学科学教师和人口或行为科学教师联合授予，并提出论文建议或手稿以供出版。在整个学员中，他们将与教师和演讲嘉宾一起参加一项职业，将生物医学知识融入他们的科学方法。该计划将由人口，行为和生物医学科学团队领导，该团队将由核心教师的类似跨学科委员会监督和支持。为了指导学员，提供实验室和研究经验以及教学培训课程的讲座，我们招募了一大批杰出的教职员工，行为，行为，生物医学科学，具有出色的出版物，校外资金，指导，指导，以及在传统学科研究方面的健康研究方面的广泛经验。 相关性：该计划将通过生产新的跨学科研究人员来使公共卫生受益，他们通过研究将有助于确定个人社会，经济和心理因素影响并受健康和疾病影响的途径。由于这项培训，这一新的调查人员将能够更好地确定干预措施的跨学科方法，以便在美国的公共卫生中受益。
